The last batter Gibson faced in his major league career hit a home run off of him. Years later in an old-timers game, Gibson threw at him. Wish I could remember names, but that is my favorite Bob Gibson story. The guy was truly great, an unbelievable competitor, and tough as nails. One of my all time favorite baseball players!!!!

Joe Adcock 6'4" 240 lbs of bone and muscle hit Gibson very well
One game Gibson low bridged him
Adcock got to first and feigned a eye problem
Came off the bag and halfway to the mound and told Gibson if he ever did it again he would kill him but first he would break his arm so he could have something to remember
Never happened again
Didn't come any tougher than Joe
